The Central Labor Unions Review
 Resolutions for the Union Label.

The new president of the Central Labor at the regular semi-monthly meet ing last Sunday made his inaugural ad- dress, in which he gave tine following statistical information:
 "A year and Il half ago this union took new life. Before January 1. lSS6. its membership was increased ny delegates from something over thirty different or ganizati0ns, and last year about fifty more were admitted. making in all over eighty. If we fix the average member ship of the respective societies at 300, and it will surely reach that number, considering that there are about l,S0o painters in one local assembly and 2,2O0 carpenters in Union B, we find that we now represent ii,O00 working people.
 A letter was received from Edward Atkinson declining to debate upon the eight hour questions; he preferred to lec- ture and have them listen,
 Resolutions were passed condemnlng tenement house cigar making, and en- dorsing the International tigarmakerS' blue label Resolutions were also adopted condenning the scab shoe manu- lecturers.

By the way, we wonder if 1t would be against the law if the Typograph- ical Union should issue lists of good, honest merchants who do a0i adver- tise in the Courier. If it is not against the law, We should advise such a course.

nlust hccus De something uollc, so lo that end fratrlcidal war is inaugu- rated in our own camp. The cry comes from headquarters, 'The Trade Unions must go." Is not this the very acme of idiocy:
 And the pity of it. To thus set our hand against our brothers-brothers who had stood shoulder to shoulder with us on many a hard-fought field. Brothers who had shared their bread with us when we had naught to still our hunger. The shame of it Was there ever chron- icled such baseness?
 And all this under the leadership of him to whom labor has bowed in reverence, and honored with its ut most confidence. But this is not all, for, it will be remembered, in the famous secret e circular it WAS intimated that by and through legis- lative action swift and sure emanci- patton for the workers would be wrought.
 And as time passed the country was on the eve of a great election. A new Congress was to be chosen, the legislative bodies were to be elected, gubernatorial and munich pal seats were to be filled, and the hearts of labor fondIy hoped that noW their time had come. But alas, vain hopes; they had reckoned with out their host. The mandate goes forth from his eminence that the K. of l.. must not be drawn into poli- tics. "Alas, poor Yorick," hast thou to this complexion come at last?
 The organized workmen stood aghast, but the enemies of labor, including the filthy politicians, went into an ecstacy of laughter. And well they might. Was ever such drivelling imbecility met with in d leader?
 No strikes. .a..-
 No boycotts.
 No politics.
 What matters it though the prole- tarlat has
 No food,
 No ralmant,
 No domicile--
 let quiet reign, for otherwise the "business interests of the country will suffer-" and peradventure the profit system be relegated to the limbo of the past.
 What horrible catastrophe that would be to those who mani pulate the "business interests. " It must not be :. Therefore,
 No strikes,
 No boycotts,
 No politics,
 says the great dictator.
 Indeed, if an aggressive warfare IS to be waged against any one, turn your weapons on your brothers of the Cigarmakers' International Union and those of the Amal ga mated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, says our doughty knight. That, at least, will not injure the "busincss interests" of the country, and thus the profit system will take a new lease of life, to the great glory of the K. of L., sheol and the shy locks.
 And Is this the end--the full frui- ton of the struggle, the sore prlya- tions, the noble self-sacritce of the battle-scarred veterans of labor's army?
 Yes: at least such seems to be the fiat of his Scrantonion majesty. But will the poor wretches tamely sub init forever to the gasconading leadership?
 Hardly; already are heard mur- murs of dissent, low and indistinct, as the muttering of distant thunder, but anon they will smlte the ear of the public in their full resonance clear, shrill and loud, like the blast of many bugles:
 "Thou hast been weighed in the balance and found wanting" And then the great laughing. stock of the labor movement will vanish into his kindred element i Nothingness. k. OF. l..

Judgment in Damage Case Affirmed.

Judgment In a Damage Case Affirmed.
In the Court of Appeals on Wednesday, Judge
Stone delivered the opinion Of the court in the
case of John c. Lamb VS.. Henry Taylor Sr. This
was an action brought by the plaintiff (Taylor)
against the defendant (Lamb) for the seduction
of his daughter, Rachel. The evidence shows that
the daughter was over twenty one years of age !;
that she was living, and had always lived, with
her father and mother, but from the age of four
teen had been working during the day in the cot
ton mills at Woodberry, returning to the house of
her father at night. She supported herself, paid
board and assisted to pay the rent of the house,
and during that time gave birth to child, the
doctor rendering the bill to the plaintiff, but he
refused to paw it. She assisted her mother in work
ABOUT the mouse. Her work was voluntary, says
the court, and was of the highest kind of service
The attempt to object to evidence by means of a
prayer is not legal. Judgment in favor of Taylor
affirmed.
Taylor sued the father of young Lamb for the
loss of the services of his daughter, &C., placing
damages at $4,000. The case was tried in city
court, John G. Lamb being resident of Baltimore,
and the jury rendered verdict for $4,000 dam
ages. Lamb carried the case to the Court of Ap-
peas and that tribunal affirmed the verdict of the
lower court.

Shrewsbury and Vicinity.-Mr. Lewis

son Flaw, Mr.. Meads, on Saturday last and was
buried in the cemetery at this place on Monday

more county.

distance from where Mr.. Grove resided, died on

The assigned estate of S. D. Ehrhart was sold
on Saturday last. The home, house and lot re-
Gently reftted and rebuilt, was purchased by Mr..
VIM. Ensor, of Baltimore county, for 81 $40. The
building lots were sold to Geo. F. Borner for $3.50.
The sale and exchange stables were sold to G. l..
Ehrhart, who will continue the business. The rest
of the property sold very low the total sales of
real estate amounting to S3,2567O, being consid-
erably below its real value. The estate, it is
thought will not pay near the per centage it was
expected and the losses will be heavy on his cred
itors and endorsers.
Our cattle, which have been fed for the past six
months, are now ready for market. Some have
already been purchased by buyers from distance.
The prices are lower for fat cattle this year than
last. The tobacco crop of 1886 is nearly all out.
Our grain fields do not look very encouraging this
spring. am fearful the crop has been very ma
terially injured by the ice the past hard winter.
A very large summer crop will be put out this
spring to make up for loss on winter grain. A
dry spring likely to follow which, if cold weather
continues into May, will be against US very much
Just the spring outlook for our farmers is not
very encouraging. X.
